That doesn’t smell like liberty to me…

Nothing screams “liberty” like a law taking health care
decisions from the individual and giving them to that individual’s employer!

Yeah, that shit doesn’t sound right to me either.

The problem is that the majority in the Missouri Assembly
thought voted to pass that bullshit off as protecting liberty when they voted
to pass SB 749 this session.

You may not have heard of SB 749…but you need to take a
moment and explore the texture and density so you know it for the stank pile of
panderific bullshit that it is.

SB 749 assumes that government needs to protect employers
from workers. SB 749 goes about
that by granting employers the right to deny healthcare coverage for birth
control and sterilization based on that employer’s personal moral objection.

Pause…allow the bizarreness of that shit to
marinate…continue.

It didn’t matter to legislators that birth control is healthcare and has been
legal for decades.

It didn’t matter to them that workers have some liberty of
their own to protect.

And they sure as shit didn’t factor in the fact that even
insurance companies opposed this wretched shit.

Nothing mattered as much as pandering to the Bishops and
those who want to thumb their nose at the Obama Administration.
